Their birth years are different. How would that be formatted, [[Petr Sykora (born 1977)]]
and [[Petr Sykora (born 1979)]]?

If they have truly identical names, can they be distinguished by their birth year?

I need some advice. What should I do when there are

name Joe Blow and one was a soldier and one an author I could do
something like this: Joe Blow (author)|]] and [[Joe Blow
(soldier)|]].
But what do I do if they are the same thing.
Here's a real world example, there are two ice hockey players named
Petr
Sykora. They are both Czech, both have played in the NHL and both
are
notable enough for an article. Do I make the most notable (he
already
has an article) [[Petr Sykora]] and the less notable [[Petr Sykora
(2)]]? If not, how do I handle this? Thanks.
